Irving Finkel has been Assistant Keeper in the Department of Western Asiatic Antiquities at the British Museum for the past 48 years, where he is responsible for the museum's collection of 130,000 cuneiform tablets.
The video is worth watching in its entirety. Finkel is a wonderful instructor.
I first learned about Finkel from this substack article by Brian Klaas, The Mirthful Assyriologist, the Real Noah's Ark, and the Oldest Writing in the World, which is also worth a full read.
